Chapter 8: Unity


The two lovers were settling into the place where they would be spending these three days together. It was a very comfortable cottage, and Jasmine secretly wished they would never have to leave here and return to their old lives. But sadly that couldn't be, so she would make the most of these days that she had with him. She pushed all thoughts of their life back at Deltora and focused on the wood she had found for the fire in the corner. She had lit a small candle and then she saw the little cottage for what it really was. It was a medium sized room, but it was well constructed and built. The walls were made of grey and white stones all scattered across the walls and the ceiling, and it seemed as if they were well thought out when the owner was building them. The floor was solid stone as well but was covered with rugs located near the fireplace with its logs and under the kitchen table. The few pieces of furniture the cottage had were a couple chairs, a table, and a well constructed bed with a blue blanket with white pillows. They had yet to explore the outside, but they had planned to do so in the morning. Jasmine started shivering.

"Are you cold?" Lief asked, and she nodded. "I'll get a fire going."

Lief did what he said he was going to do and Jasmine examined the room to see if she had missed anything. She hadn't.

She began to feel the intense feelings she felt for Lief again. She had lied about being cold because she was mostly shivering about how nervous she was. Jasmine had never imagined that she would be here, alone in a room with the person she loved more than anyone in the world. She didn't want Lief to know about her feelings as she didn't want to embarrass herself.

"Are you hungry, Jasmine?" he asked.

And that's what set her off completely, and she knew her answer. She was hungry alright, but it was not for food or drink.

"If you are, I can search the woods for something. I'm sure I'll find...mmph!"

Before he could even react, he felt Jasmine's lips crushed up against his, kissing him passionately. Not that he was displeased or anything, but he was a bit surprised at her forwardness.

"Jasmine?" he murmured through her lips.

"You asked me if I was hungry, and I am. I want you, right now."

"Are you sure?" he said, knowing what she was asking him.

"I want us to become one," Jasmine said, increasing her grip on him.

"It's your first time, right?" She nodded. "Mine too."

It was true that they had a romantic evening the night they proclaimed their love for one another, but they decided to slow down a bit in their relationship and did nothing except kissing and cuddling. But this, this was completely different and altogether risky. He felt the same way that she felt, and wanted to do this with her as well, but was she absolutely sure about him? About them?

"Are you absolutely sure?" Lief asked.

Jasmine stopped kissing him and looked him dead in the eye.

"Make me yours, Lief."

She didn't need to tell him twice.

And with those words, she crushed her lips against his again and this time, he didn't fight her. They both knew that this time, there would be no turning back. They would become one tonight and lose their virginity to the other. They wrapped their arms tightly around each other and kissed each other passionately. Their tongues battled the other and Jasmine lost on purpose, letting him take control of the whole situation, and he did. He picked her up by her legs, making her moan, as he lead her to the bed. He gently placed her on the bed as he slowly crawled over her, continuing their kissing. Jasmine's hands undid her cloak and tossed it to the floor without a second thought. Lief was on cloud nine, but he was still very nervous that he would do something completely wrong or stupid. He then pushed those thoughts out of his mind as he knew that this night was about pleasing Jasmine, as this was their first real night together.

Feeling bold but didn't want to end their kissing, he undid the belt on her tunic and let his hands slid underneath her shirt, feeling the soft skin underneath it. His hands caressed her stomach, her hips, and then eventually went up to where he was most nervous and eager to touch. He had touched many things in his life, but there had never been anything as amazing or soft as his lover's breasts. His hands caught them and massaged them, causing her to gasp through their kiss. Wanting more, he captured a nipple between his thumb and index finger, pinching it softly wanting to see how she would respond.

She moaned and arched her back, wanting so much more. He continued his movements with both of his hands, as his lips moved downwards to give her neck some much needed attention. He decided to try something different and began swirling his fingers around her nipples, all while his lips explored the skin of her neck. She moaned even louder than before, and her body couldn't even comprehend the pleasure she was receiving. She ran her fingers through his soft locks and encouraged him to continue what he was doing. Which he did, although he had no idea what on earth he was doing. All the things he was attempting to do were based on instinct alone. He wasn't sure entirely, but based on her movements and sounds, she didn't seem to be dissatisfied.

As he continued his abuse on her neck, he felt his arousal stirring and decided he needed more. He stopped and pulled off her shirt, and they both stopped. She lay before him, half-undressed, and she covered her upper body. It would be a lie if she said she didn't feel a little nervous. This was as far as they had gone the last time they had been together like this, before they decided that they should wait. She was nervous, but she had no regrets about doing this with him. He was the only one for her, now and forever.

"Jasmine?" he asked.

With those words, she gathered her wits together and removed her arms.

Lief's eyes widened at the sight before him. He felt nervous as well, for he didn't want to displease her. He cupped the rounded flesh within his palm and he was amazed at the soft and supple feeling of it. He took the other one with his opposite hand and began moving them around, as he returned his lips to her neck. He rediscovered the nipples from his last adventure and decided to try something different. This caused her to react in a completely different way. She arched her back and gasped, begging him to pleasure her even more. But he wanted more, so his mouth traveled down to the flesh and stopped. He was no expert at this and he felt nervous and unsure of himself once again. Once he gained his courage back, he stuck his tongue out and licked her nipple.

She moaned loudly, trying to encourage him to do even more, and he did. He sucked even harder than before, earning foreign sounds from his lover. He brought his other hand up and cupped the other breast. She ran her fingers through his hair, as his lips traveled all over her chest, sending the most amazing feelings throughout her entire body. She was amazed at how he made her feel, like he was the only one who could make her feel this way. She closed her eyes, letting the ecstasy completely consume her. He switched breasts, sucking on one and feeling the other with his hand, loving the various noises he could make her moan.

He then pulled back and she moaned loudly at the interruption. She looked up at him and he looked down at her: he saw the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen in his life, the one he had fallen in love with, the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, the girl with whom he would make love with for the very first time. There was no turning back, he knew that now, not that he regretted a thing. Knowing this, Lief began to remove his jacket and tossed it to the floor with the rest of their clothes. She laughed as he tried to bend over her again.

"What?" he said confused.

"If you think you're going to continue this with the amount of clothes you have on, you're crazy," she teased.

He smiled. "Yes milady."

He happily complied with removing his shirt and tossing it to the floor. Jasmine blushed. She had already seen Lief shirtless before, but even so. He brought her out of her thoughts when he bent down and kissed her lips again. They hadn't intended it to be, but it turned into a long kiss that lasted for a while. He started to take this distraction as an opportunity to do more, so he listened to his instinct. He brought a hand down into her pants and began rubbing her sacred area, making slow, circular motions. He then placed a finger nervously inside her and began stretching her. She was so warm. He was nervous because they hadn't gotten this far before. He then kissed her neck again as he continued his movements. He was surprised at how wet she had become during these minutes, and he loved it so much. She gasped and moaned at the new movements of her lover, and moaned louder as he began to move faster with his fingers. He rubbed her and it was unlike anything that he had ever touched before and he groaned at how good it felt. He felt himself get very much aroused at her gasps and moans and when he removed his fingers to kiss her again, she tried to take control, to which he refused.

"No, Jasmine. This is my night tonight."

"But Lief..."

"Shhh," Lief said, placing a finger on her lips. "Just relax and let me pleasure you, darling."

Just as she was about to protest, he pushed her back on the bed and returned his lips to her breasts, making her forget what she had been trying to do before. He sucked hard on her right nipple and Jasmine was in such ecstasy that she didn't notice Lief undoing her pants and bringing them off her body.

She was now completely naked in front of him, and he loved it. She was absolutely beautiful and he vowed to always remember this moment during times of agnst and trouble. He kissed her lips and they resumed kissing for quite awhile until he felt some other part of him telling him to go lower. He wanted to ravish every single part of her body, and so he listened to his body's instincts. He led a trail of butterfly kisses down her body, causing her to gasp and moan. She forced her lids open to watch what he was doing, and she saw him getting closer and closer to her most sacred area. That's when he finally reached it and feeling bold, give it a small lick. Jasmine's eyes flew open to the man in between her legs. He continued his tongue movements very slowly when Jasmine's breathing picked up again, and her head fell back onto the pillows, his tongue moving in slow, torturous circles. He then discovered a new part of her and gathered his wits before he began licking harder than a few minutes before. He ignored the painful feeling in his own arousal as he spread her legs apart further to have a better view of pleasuring her. He looked up and his heart melted as seeing her face in pure ecstasy, tossing back and forth from both sides, unable to handle the new feelings of pleasure. She pulled his head closer, urging him to devour her whole and he sure as hell didn't object. She was sweet and incredible and he just couldn't get enough of her. His movements got more intense and her moans became louder and louder. Jasmine couldn't handle the movements of his tongue on her clit or the intense pleasure he was giving her. It became even more pleasurable when Lief reached his hands and rubbed her breasts.

"Lief," she moaned, and he just smiled, her hips thrusting to match his mouth.

All she felt was warmth and love and pleasure. She couldn't take it, her moans growing louder and her demands increased. Lief complied with all of them, feeling his arousal growing at her moans, his tongue swirling and licking around the sensitive nub. He then plunged his tongue into her wet cavern while bringing a finger down to continue swirling her pearl at the same speed as his tongue and sent her moaning over the edge. She grabbed the sheets and tried to control herself to no avail. It was unlike anything she had ever felt before. She couldn't do anything but enjoy his hands, lips and tongue pleasuring her beyond cure and help. He would change speeds of his tongue at different moments when she couldn't even expect it. It just drove her crazy and she couldn't take it. As he pleasured her, he felt himself grow even harder at her moans and groans, to the point that it began to hurt. Jasmine then felt something build inside of her, getting more and more powerful until...

She exploded.

"LIEF!" she screamed.

He lifted his head and wiped his face. He stood up on his knees and looked down at his new lover, recovering from the pleasure he had just given her. She slowly opened her eyes, she was still panting heavily but she was smiling up at him.

"I know I'm..." Lief said, unsure of himself.

"You were wonderful, darling," Jasmine reassured him.

He smiled back at her, trying to hide the nervousness that had taken over him. He knew what was going to happen next, or what should happen next in this. He knew it and he was absolutely terrified of hurting or scaring her. This was the first time for both of them and Lief never wanted to put Jasmine in pain or grief. Lief was terrified out of his wits and Jasmine could see the change in his excitement to being worried and scared. She reached up and grabbed his hand.

"What's wrong?" she said.

He looked away. "We can stop here if you want, I mean, I don't want to hurt you or make you any more nervous or anything at all and..." he was interrupted by Jasmine squeezing his hand in comfort. He flinched and looked down back at her. She had a sympathetic smile on her face.

"Lief, I'm really fine. To tell you the truth, I'm terrified as well. Everyone is nervous the first time they do this with someone. I know it will be painful, but I love you and trust you to do the best you can do. Lief, I'm ready for our love to strengthen even more than it has. I want to be yours in every way, so please, don't be scared."

She reached up and stroked his cheek and Lief found himself calming down at the smoothness of her hand on his skin. He placed a kiss on her hand.

"OK."

She smiled and looked down at his pants, his arousal very much visible.

"These need to come off now."

Lief quickly hopped off the bed and pulled his pants down nervously, now understanding the hesitation Jasmine felt at him removing her clothes. He stepped out of them and looked back at her with the same uncertainty as before. Jasmine's eyes widened at him, he was even more beautiful than she had ever imagined. He was well toned and muscular, almost godlike to Jasmine's eyes. There was nothing to hide anymore between them. He got back onto the bed and hovered over her, still feeling terrified. He placed both of his hands on either side of her head as he gazed into her eyes. There was still time to turn back, to not do this, he thought. But then he considered what Jasmine had said to him, that she wanted this, that she wanted him no matter what pain would occur.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

She paused a moment and then nodded.

There was no turning back now.

He grabbed his very erect member in his hand and guided it to Jasmine's entrance and she closed her eyes tight, preparing for the pain. In one swift movement, Lief was inside of her. Jasmine cried out in extreme pain and held on to Lief as if her life depended on it, feeling her virginity being taken from her. She knew that it would hurt, but she had never imagined how painful it would actually be. Lief immediately stopped and looked down at her in fierce regret, wishing there was a less painful way for this to happen. It was the complete opposite of how he was feeling, on cloud nine of pleasure. It was so warm and tight inside of her and he wanted to move so badly, but he knew that he had to wait for her as he didn't want to hurt her anymore than he already had. It felt very full. After a few minutes, her grasp on Lief decreased and she now felt ready to continue.

"You can move now," she said.

"Are you absolutely sure?" he said. "We can stop you know..."

"Lief, I love you but you need to shut up and make love to me," she said.

Lief smiled and pushed into her again, unable to restrain the groans that came out of him. It felt so good, even if this was at a very slow pace. He didn't want to hurt her any more than he had, so he began slowly. He wanted to watch her facial expressions, which was hard because of how good it felt, which caused him to constantly close his eyes and throw his head back. Every moment in her was to Lief the equivalent of exploring a new territory of an uncharted land, each time he entered her felt different and unique. It was the most unique feeling that he had ever felt and he was sharing it with the girl he loved. Eventually, Jasmine gained some strength back and started thrusting with Lief, now feeling pleasure instead of that horrendous pain that she had felt before. Now it felt amazing the way Lief felt inside of her; she couldn't hold back the moans and groans that were coming from her body.

Lief bent down and stole a passionate kiss from Jasmine, which she returned at full amount. It was the same as their first kiss; new, nervous, yet unbearably sweet and warm. He broke it and looked down at her.

"I love you," he said without a moment's hesitation.

She smiled back. "I love you too. So much."

And with this exchange of confessions of love, Lief continued to move inside of her, burying his face in the crook of her neck, Jasmine wrapping her arms around his back for dear life. He increased his speed, fiercely pounding into her with great force, resulting into loud groans and moans from both of the lovers. It felt as though both would explode and tumble over the edge. Jasmine wrapped her legs around his waist to bury himself further inside of her.

It didn't matter that they were in just a small cottage in a small village in the wood; what mattered was that they were in love, together, and doing this for the first time together. They both now understood that making love is a unique experience if you do it with the person you love. They learned this as they continued their passion into the night.

There was nothing else to say.

They were finally one.


When it was over, he collapsed on top of her, heavily panting. She wrapped her arms tighter around his back as she panted heavily too. They were one now and there was nothing else that could separate them as far she was concerned. He took her virginity and she his. She loved him so much and as she attempted to normalize her breathing, she realized that this union had strengthened her feelings and their bond. There was no shame, only extreme happiness and she started crying.

Lief looked up and was worried at seeing her tears.

"Jasmine?" he asked, concerned. "Are you alright? Did I hurt you?"

Jasmine looked up at him.

"No, I'm just happy to be with you like this," she sobbed. "I'm just so happy."

Lief's heart melted and he felt his eyes getting watery. He pulled out of her, lay on his side, drew the covers over them, and he held her closer than before.

"I love you, so much Jasmine," he said. "I'm not going to let anything or anyone separate us, do you understand?"

"I love you, too," Jasmine said, before accepting the warm embrace of sleep.


THAT'S IT! Please review and tell me what you think! Next chapter anyone! Please? I appreciate all the people that have asked me to update this story again and it has taken me a lot to finally write this chapter.

Sorry I've been gone awhile. Senior year of high school is a major bitch. I'm really not sure when I'll be able to update again, so this will have to do.
